The model-turned-actress added, “The only time I think I’m sexy is when I really diet and workout hard.”

She credits how people perceive her to confidence, disclosing that she was “drunk” when they did her viral workout video – which has almost 4 million views as of this writing – “so ang lakas ng loob ko. So, ’yun lang, but I don’t really think I’m sexy.”

Ellen even admitted that her 33-25-33 figure isn’t all-natural.

“My boobs are fake (giggles). But I’ve always had balakang so even out lang.”

But Ellen, who is being handled by celebrity fitness trainer John Aquino (who is training the likes of Anne Curtis, Bea Alonzo), still shared her fitness secrets (or is it?).

“It’s just protein shake; nothing else. And a lot of squats, and ab workout. But do it like five pounds, 10 pounds, like that – but it’s not healthy, I don’t advise you to do that!” she exclaimed. Manila Bulletin
